In optical networks, one of the main advances is wavelength division multiplexing (WDM). An essential issue in designing of optical networks is how the network will be controlled, that is, which type of signaling will be used for resources reservation, routing and wavelength assigning, and how physical impairments will be dealfish. This implies in the necessity of several devices to guarantee the good functioning of the network. The diversity and complexity of administration of these devices stimulate the creation of GMPLS (Generalized Multiprotocol Label Switching), in order to provide control, for domains not only based on packages (as it makes the MPLS - Multiprotocol Label Switching), but also on time slots, wavelength and fiber. However, the labels switching on the wavelength multiplexing can generate a NP-complete problem involving the routing and wavelength assignment: if both do no succeed, the connection blocking will occur with and loss of network performance. Another relevant question is that, in all-optical networks, there is some physical impairment that influence the blocking probability e must be taken in consideration in algorithms RWA. This work presents the study of the control plan GMPLS and RWA algorithms for the setting up of connections in alloptical WDM networks. Moreover, the study of two physical impairments (polarization mode dispersion and optical signal noise rate) was done, inserting them in RWA algorithm to reduce the blocking probability due them. The results had shown that the MostUsed algorithm has better performance than the BestFit and the Random one when considered the connection blocking due to resources (lambdas). Moreover, the use of impairments-aware algorithms influence significantly in the reduction of the blocking probability. Therefore, the more advantageous performance was observed in the use of impairment-aware algorithms simultaneously with the MostUsed algorithm. / O aumento de usuários e o surgimento de aplicações de redes sofisticadas impulsionam as pesquisas para aprimorar as tecnologias de transmissão de dados, e assim suprir a exigência por largura de banda. Em redes ópticas, um dos principais avanços é o surgimento da multiplexação de comprimento de onda (WDM). Desta forma, uma questão essencial no projeto de redes ópticas compreende na definição de como a rede será controlada, isto é, qual tipo de sinalização será utilizado para reserva de recursos, definição de rotas, tratamento de falhas, entre outras funções formadoras do plano de controle. Isso implica na necessidade de diversos dispositivos para garantir o bom funcionamento da rede. A diversidade e complexidade de administração desses dispositivos incentivam a criação do GMPLS (Generalized Multiprotocol Label Switching), a fim de prover controle, não somente para domínios baseados em pacotes (como faz o MPLS - Multiprotocol Label Switching), mas também em tempo, comprimento de onda e fibra. Porém, a comutação de rótulos sobre a multiplexação de comprimento de onda pode gerar um problema NP-Completo envolvendo o roteamento e a associação de comprimento de onda, uma vez que se ambas não obtiverem sucesso, ocorrerá o bloqueio da conexão e perda de desempenho da rede. Outra questão relevante é que, em redes totalmente ópticas, existem problemas inerentes da camada física os que influenciam na probabilidade de bloqueio e devem ser levados em consideração em algoritmos RWA (roteamento por associação de comprimento de onda). O presente trabalho realiza o estudo do plano de controle GMPLS e de algoritmos RWA para o estabelecimento de conexões em redes WDM transparentes. Além disso, é feito um estudo de duas restrições da camada física (dispersão por modo de polarização e relação sinal ruído óptica) inserindo-as no algoritmo RWA para diminuir a probabilidade de bloqueio devido a elas. Os resultados mostraram que o algoritmo MostUsed possui melhor desempenho em relação ao BestFit e ao Random quando considerado bloqueio por falta de recursos (lambdas). Além disso, o uso de algoritmos cientes de restrições da camada física influencia significamente na diminuição da probabilidade de bloqueio. Portanto, o melhor desempenho foi observado no uso de algoritmos cientes de restrições físicas juntamente com o algoritmo MostUsed.

Les réseaux optiques dynamiques et flexibles font partie des scénarios d'évolution des réseaux de transport optique. Ceux-ci formeront la base de la nouvelle génération des réseaux optiques de demain et permettront le déploiement efficace des services tel que le Cloud Computing. Cette évolution est destinée à apporter flexibilité et automatisation à la couche optique, mais s'accompagne d'une complexité supplémentaire, notamment au niveau de la gestion et de la commande de cette toute nouvelle génération de réseau. Jusqu'à récemment, les protocoles de routage et de signalisation normalisés ont pris en compte plusieurs paramètres physiques tels que l'information spectrale de la bande passante, le format de modulation, et la régénération optique. Cependant, d'autres paramètres sont encore nécessaires (par exemple, les puissances optiques des liens, le gain des amplificateurs) afin de faire fonctionner efficacement de grands réseaux. Dans ce contexte, il y a un besoin d'étudier les réseaux optiques existants ainsi que les différentes méthodes de prise en compte de la couche photonique dans le plan de contrôle. Le but est d'avoir un réseau optique automatique, flexible et programmable, mais surtout efficace de point de vue économique et opérationnel. L'utilisation de la technologie à grille flexible a un impact sur les réseaux optiques existants, où presque tous les équipements devront être remplacés, ce qui entraînera un coût additionnel pour les opérateurs. Dans ce travail, nous étudions les réseaux optiques actuels et évaluons l'impact de la flexibilité sur les infrastructures existantes. Ensuite, nous identifions plusieurs paramètres optiques à contrôler et proposons des extensions protocolaires afin d'intégrer ces paramètres dans un plan de contrôle GMPLS. De plus, nous développons les algorithmes de routage et de signalisation qui permettent la mise en œuvre d'un plan de contrôle efficace qui répond au besoin de la flexibilité. Enfin, l'ensemble de nos propositions et de nos solutions sont évaluées sur plusieurs topologies réseaux avec des modèles de trafic différents dans le but de valider leur pertinence. / Dynamic and flexible optical networks are among the evolution scenarios of the optical transport networks. These form the basis of the new generation of optical networks of tomorrow and enable the effective deployment of services such as cloud computing. This evolution is intended to provide flexibility and automation to the optical layer. However, it results in additional complexity, particularly in terms of the management and control of this new network generation. Until recently, the standardized routing and signaling protocols have been taking into account several optical parameters like the spectral bandwidth information, modulation format, and optical regeneration. However, other parameters (e.g., link optical powers, gain of optical amplifiers) are still required in order to efficiently operate large optical networks. In this context, there is a need to study the existing optical networks and the different integration methods of the photonic layer in a control plane. The goal is to get an automatic optical network that is flexible, programmable, and at the same time efficient from an economical and operational perspective. The use of flexible grid technology has an impact on existing optical networks, where almost all the equipment must be replaced, resulting in an additional cost to network operators. In this work, we study the current optical networks and evaluate the impact of flexibility on the existing infrastructures. Then, we identify several physical parameters to be controlled and propose protocol extensions in order to integrate these parameters in the GMPLS control plane. In addition, we develop the routing and signaling algorithms that allow the implementation of an efficient control plane that addresses the need for flexibility. Finally, the set of our proposals and solutions are evaluated on multiple network topologies with different traffic patterns in order to validate their relevance.
